Since forbidden fruit tastes sweetest, everytime I got the chance I would sneak into Rediffusion Silver Network to listen to 'Request Programs' such as POBox608. <br /><br />And when I was sent on errands to the provision shops and Chinese medicine shop along Balestier Road in front of the old Ruby Cinema, I would linger as long as I could outside the jukebox saloon. That was before it was closed down in the anti-yellow culture drive by the new post-colonial government. <br /><br />Recalling the frequent gang fights over the jukeboxes, I now think that the closing-down was the right move, though I didn't think so then. Those were the days.JAMES KWOKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-50201855271378402862008-12-30T13:24:00.000+08:002008-12-30T13:24:00.000+08:00Hi Lucy,It's a compliment.
